Sorry Ron Paul fans (myself included), trying to change things through politics at this point in the game will just lead to frustration and disappointment. Among the "voting population", just simply add up all the non-whites, militant feminists, queers and other assorted deviants, and you get a large chunk of the adult population of this country included. This block of voters only grows larger with each passing year. At this point, I would have to say its already past the point of no return. So ive resigned myself to the notion that sooner or later this monster we know as the "United States" is going to fall from its current status into something familiar in the third world. When that happens or what happens from here to there, I have no idea.
